Method and interpretation

Formula version 1.0.0 · Last reviewed 2026-09-13

This plans when you could start and what would be delayed; it does not declare whether you can afford or should buy the game. A goal date can also be rechecked against the new queue.

The new game is inserted at the selected point and the same weekday calendar is simulated again. The engine compares completion-date shifts and divides price by expected playtime.

Why the result can vary

Purchase timing, discounts, abandoned play, added content, and changing availability affect the result.

Example

Start a new 40-hour game now

Inputs: A 40-hour game costing KRW 69,800, an existing backlog, and 11 hours per week

Outcome: See the new start and finish dates, the delay to each existing game, and expected cost per hour in KRW.

Cautions

  • Price and playtime are your assumptions; no store or external database is queried.
  • Check budget and refund terms separately from the time calculation.

Frequently asked questions

How do ‘now’ and ‘after current’ differ?

‘Start now’ puts the new game first. ‘After current game’ means finishing the first backlog game before starting the new one.

Can I see how much existing games are delayed?

Yes. Each matching game's completion date is compared before and after insertion to report delay days.

Does the calculator recommend buying it?

No. It makes time and cost impact visible; combine that with budget, taste, priorities, and refund terms.

New game backlog impact calculator guide

Compare starting a new game now or placing it later in your queue to see its dates, delays to existing games, and expected cost per hour.

  • Enter the new game's expected length and price, then check the hours remaining in your current game and backlog.
  • Compare insertion now, after the current game, and at the end to see how much each existing game is delayed.
